Sally Seaver is a mathematician, scientist and businesswoman. Her initial invention concepts are aimed at supporting renewable energy.
- A battery for high-capacity long-term storage of energy from wind and solar generation; may also provide the high energy density required for electric flying vehicles
- Remediate nuclear waste, nuclear waste being the biggest drawback to nuclear power. Nuclear waste remediation would enable a greater role for dependable on-demand power from nuclear power plants as a reliable backup to solar and wind energy.
An opportunity exists for a venture capital firm [VC] to participate with Active Lightning Energy in the opportunity provided by these inventions. The ideal VC would provide the management team for the new venture. This management team would oversee the use of funds and the commercialization of products to be developed from working prototypes.
